Juventus hosts Lazio in round 26 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, March 6th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
Juventus is extremely unstable in the current season. In mid-February, the team unexpectedly lost to Porto in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals (2:1). In the return game, the Old Lady must try hard to advance to the next round of the competition. Not everything is going smoothly in the Italian championship either. Yes, the Zebras gradually rose to the third line, as competitors also regularly lost points. But they allow plenty of misfires. One of them took place in an away match against Verona (1:1). As it was at the start of the 2020/21 season, Andrea Pirlo's charges barely scored one goal but failed to maintain the advantage. By the way, it was the 7th draw of the Black-and-Whites in Serie A. The gap to the first place is 10 points, and it will be extremely difficult to catch up with Inter.

Previously, Lazio gained positive results due to the individual skills of some players. When the 2020/21 season started (with many injuries and coronavirus), all the problems of the Romans became obvious. The short bench, the lack of top transfers, the overcrowded infirmary, and low variability have led to a serious decline for the Eagles. The men of Simone Inzaghi limply lost to Bayern (1:4) in the first leg of Champions League 1/8 finals, showing big gaps in the defense. As for the Italian championship, they lost not only to the leading Inter (3:1) but also to a middle peasant Bologna (2:0). In the last match, Ciro Immobile didn’t convert a penalty when the score was 0-0, and that cost Lazio three points. So far, the Roman team is only on the seventh line in the Serie A standings. And it will face a serious fight for the places in European Cups.
As soon as a more or less serious opponent comes across (Verona, Napoli, Inter, Fiorentina, Atalanta, etc.), Juventus immediately experiences problems, and Andrea Pirlo cannot influence the course of the match in any way. Lazio is not Spezia, which limply lost to the Old Lady in Turin (3-0). The Eagles are unyielding opponents who have punished the Bianconeri more than once over the past two seasons. In 2019, the Romans beat the Zebras twice with the same score of 3-1. Then Juventus gained the close victory at home (2:1), and the first match in the current Serie A ended in a 1:1 draw. We think that the Black-and-Whites will again have problems in breaching the opponents’ defense.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with +1.0 handicap
